Editing Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus (section)

== Sketches ==
The "[[Colin "Bomber" Harris vs Colin "Bomber" Harris]]" and "Hearing Aid Shop" sketches in the second show had previously featured in ''[[At Last the 1948 Show]]''.

Footage of the "Silly Olympics," "[[Little Red Riding Hood]]," "Flashers' Love Story," and "[[The Philosophers' Football Match]]" sketches from these German specials was regularly used to fill time between live stage performances,<ref name=BBCRadio /> as seen in ''[[Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl]]'' (the former two re-dubbed in English). "Silly Olympics" (minus the relay for the deaf part) and "The Philosophers' Football Match" were also used in the 2014 reunion shows at London's [[The O2 Arena|O2 Arena]].

Several new sketches were written specifically for this show, including "[[William Tell]]", "Little Red Riding Hood," and "[[The Merchant of Venice]]" as performed by a herd of cows. Only "[[The Lumberjack Song]]" was translated from its original appearance on ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' (Series 1, Episode 9), although "Ten Seconds of Sex" from the second show also appeared in Series 3, Episode 9 of ''Flying Circus'' around the same time.

Both Alfred Biolek and Thomas Woitkewitsch are featured in guest roles. German footballer [[Franz Beckenbauer]] makes an appearance in The Philosophers' Football Match skit. The first skit of the first episode also features Claudia Doren, then an announcer at Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR).<ref name="Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus"/>
